New Year's Eve at The Farmers Club

Quite simply the best seat in the house!!

The Farmers Club once again welcomed in the New Year with great style.Bubbles to begin with some delicious Chefs Treats in the Lounge and Bar followed by a four course dinner created by our Head Chef.The menu featured many British foods including Irish Goats Cheese, Pheasant and Partridge from Kent, Gloucestershire Chicken,Smoked Haddock from Petershead, Shetland Mussels and Oysters, Honey from Derbyshire and Cornish Beef as the main course.

The service was led by Craig our Conference & Banqueting Manager in the new Farmers Suite overlooking The Thames.The room was a buzz of happy chatter and anticipation of the big event.

The party had begun earlier along the Embankment and we were delighted to be in the privileged position of The Farmers ClubTerrace at 11.30pm which is quite simply, the best seat in the house. The London Eye is directly opposite and Big Ben in earshot.Champagne in hand, the countdown began on the building opposite, and everyone joined in the count with 10 seconds to go.WOW it didn't disappoint...............12 minutes of stunning fireworks welcomed in 2017.Of course the evening didn't end there, bacon and sausage rolls followed and the Bar was open until 1pm.

Finally everyone retired to bed and got up only a few hours later for a full breakfast offering in The Restaurant before departingfor New Year's Day celebrations elsewhere.

To give you a flavour of the feedback, here are some comments we have received so far;
